The enhancement

Currently, in the Create Octopus Release in ADO, under the Project field, a user must select a value from the dropdown that's populated from our API. It would be great to allow the use of a variable here as well.

What is the problem this solves or benefit it gives

Being allowed to use a variable here would allow for more robust pipelines from ADO to the Octopus system.

Proposed solution

Allow use of variables from ADO in the "Project" field within our Octopus "Create Release" step.

Workarounds

Use the standard dropdown to select a specific project.
